Nanjunda Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is referred to as the business responsibility and an organization's actions on environmental, social, ethical and economic issues of its surroundings. It is usually described in terms of a company considering, managing and balancing the economic, social and environmental impacts of its activities. A business organization cannot work in isolation and the extent to which a business organization should consider the environmental, ethical and social issues in its working foregoing a part of its profit for the betterment of the society as a whole, the constituents of which are its employees, environment, moral and ethical issues etc. A company which fails to do so is jeopardizing its commercial future. In India, the ethical and moral model initiated by Mahatma Gandhi during 1930s is well known which affirmed the responsibility of familyrun-businesses conducting social and economic activities. Corporate social responsibility has no standard definition. Whatsoever business houses functions in the domestic and global economy. On other hand they have to also address the needs of the share holders demands on time. Corporate houses or business companies are basically aimed to make maximum profit out of their business. They are not the charitable institutes. However, sometime they may need to fulfill corporate accountability, responsibility and stewardship. In a most philosophical meaning we can say since corporate are working in the society they must (?) address the social problems by sharing small portion of their total profit.

Inclusive development promotes transparency and accountability, and enhances development cooperation outcomes through collaboration between civil society, governments and private sector actors. Diversity is a fact of life. Difference is normal. Some people are excluded from society because of difference. Difference can be due to a range of factors, some universal, some cultural and context specific. Inclusion is about society changing to accommodate difference, and to combat discrimination. It sees society as the problem, not the person. Development fails when governments neglect the needs of the very people it is designed to help. Yet too often, countries undertake development policies and programs in response to donor demands or private sector interests at the cost of citizen involvement, resulting in ineffective and sometimes destructive developmental programs.

Nanjunda; Ms. Sukla Sikder Development anthropology refers to the relevance of anthropological perspectives to the multidisciplinary twig of development studies. The split between academic and practical anthropology cemented the way for what was finally recognized to be a basic difference between 'development anthropology' and the 'anthropology of development'. Experts felt Development anthropologists share a promise to concurrently analysis and add to developmental projects and institutions that make and administer western development projects that look to get better social and economic comfortness of the most marginalized sections of the society and to eradicate poverty. Some explain the anthropological analysis of development as one that pits modernization and an abolition of the tradition and culture, but this is too reductive and not the case with the majority of scholarly work. In fact, most anthropologists who work in areas desire close to developmental anthropology focusing economic relief for the people they study as policymakers; however, they are cautious about the assumptions and types on which development interventions are actually based. Through this book the authors have made a humble attempt to throw light on some present day's issues in Development Anthropology. Authors hope, this book will be helpful to the students, policy makers, researchers, NGOs and other public affairs management centers.

Divya Gender inequality and discrimination challenges the social economic and environmental sustainability in achieving inclusive development. The absence of a gender-aware perspective in the virtuous development issue is often justified from the premise that development is a male-dominated domain. Many a times, it is assumed that when given control of resources, women are always likely to support policies that give significance to equality, peace and sustainable development and those women have an inherent concern for inclusive development. This books opines gender sensitive research can help to make sure that the conditions for achieving the sustainable development goals. This is because gender concerns are at times equated with women's concerns and women's empowerment is unspoken to be 'implementable as top-down essentialism' without taking into deliberation the differences among men and women in their engagement with the developmental process.

Nanjunda The success of decentralization as a mechanism for the greater autonomy and accountability at lower levels of the system, especially in the health sector, depends on a large extent on the vision driving the initiative from the top and the perception of the effectiveness of decentralization by administrative and political personnel at the lower levels. At the policy level, ideas on decentralization are translated into action through various health programs and policies that are established and orders that are issued. However, in the finally it is the perception of the elected representatives and the administrative functionaries at different PRI tiers which will be instrumental in operationalzing decentralization. Unfortunately after the Thirteen years (2005) of implementation of NRHM there has been no empirical research done to examine how much decentralization has taken place and whether there is any correlation between this increase in autonomy (decision space) and health outcomes. The absence of a suitable analytical framework of role of Panchayaths to implement NRHM is also one of the reason for this. Therefore, this book attempts to bridge the existing research gap by examining the possible impact of decentralization and increase in decision space on the rural health outcomes in the state of Karnataka with special references to NRHM.

Smitha It is quite evident that India's healthcare system is one of the most expensive and mostly spending on private healthcare system. Some time when government needs money desperately and ultimately the health budgets suffer. Experts felt In India ever increasing defense spending is always inversely proportional to health care spending. Since last few decades the public health budget has continually shrunk due various reasons. The World Bank (2001) and the National Commission on Macroeconomics in Health have specifically suggested harnessing public and private sectors collaborations in health sector for more accessible and affordable health care . The eleventh Five-Year Plan envisioned in detail the need for private sector participation in the delivery of health services for inclusive health care for the most disadvantaged sections of the society.

It provides a critique of the concept of tribe and shows that there was never a distinct category of tribe in India. The people now known as tribe have always been, like others, part of the regional set up, of which forest have been an integral part. In India forests were not simply vast stretches of wilderness but also places for retreat, introspection, learning and storehouse of resources. People who lived close to nature, supplied goods and services and were building blocks of the great cultural community of India. Realizing military, cultural, economic, religious significance of elephant in India from ancient times, the author opens one of the windows to show the role played by the forest dwellers in capturing and domesticating it and thereby demolishes the view that they have been isolated. All these facts have always been there but the students of tribal studies have not been asking the relevant questions. The author draws illustrative material from trijunction of the southern region of India, which is environmentally heterogeneous, rich in natural resources and has been home of a number of tribes highlighting the transformation scene, indicating the pressure of'mainstreaming' in the highly unequal and stratified universe of India.

While India has been sporadically successful in combating various diseases in the years after Independence, the absence of an overarching public health network has ensured that the country's disease burden remains extraordinarily high. Health is resolute not only by medical care but also by determinants outside the medical sector. Public health approach is to deal with all these determinants of health which requires multi sectoral collaboration and inter-disciplinary coordination. The case for preventive healthcare is made even stronger by the fact that almost 80% of all lifestyle diseases can be prevented by modifying health habits and detecting the possibility or the onset of a disease at a very early stage through preventive health screening. The present book is collection of article published in the health journals.

Inclusive growth is a not new term in social sciences. Inclusive growth is not just about individuals at a micro level. At a macro level, it is about sectors and regions too. The Government of India declared the year 2001 as the year of 'new growth and development' but the way to reach this stage has been long and difficult. Absence of inclusive growth can lead to uneven development in sectors and regions of an economy since economic growth can act as a launch pad for significant development in only some sectors and regions.

Prasad The word traditional knowledge has become a buzzword in the contemporary society for optimum utilization and management of natural resources for sustenance of tribal and rural communities. This local knowledge is intangible in nature and hence deeply imbibed in their customs, traditions, rites and rituals, folklore, magico-religious practices. The interaction with nature is possible through the medium of culture and hence socio-cultural processes play a significant role in carrying and conserving the knowledge base. As such, traditional knowledge has become an integral part of every culture since it caters the basic needs like food, shelter, and heath care. With this backdrop, the present book vividly documented the vanishing traditional knowledge of Island communities who depend on horticulture. The study explains how the traditional knowledge of the Nicobarese on horticulture, land and forest, aquatic resources, foods and beverages, ethno medicine and ethno veterinary practices, facilitating the traditional livelihoods in times of natural disasters like Tsunami and Earthquake. While analyzing the different aspects of traditional knowledge of the Nicobarese, the focus remains on understanding the man-nature relationship keeping in view of the ecology and religion which is characterizing the life of the Nicobarese of Katchal Island. The level of this book is truly academic and research oriented.

Along with becoming free India was partitioned with Muslim majority areas becoming Pakistan and Hindu majority areas becoming India or Hindustan. With Calcutta and other parts of Bengal becoming drenched in blood after Muslim League launched 'Direct Action' for demanding Pakistan in 1946, it seems Partition became inevitable. Though Mahatma Gandhi and Congress Leaders, who led the Freedom Struggle were opposed to Partition till the end, at the last hour, for smooth and immediate Transfer of Power, agreed for Partition.

It is a highly labour intensive industry offering a number of jobs that do not require specialised training. Hence, it provides employment to unskilled and semiskilled workers, part time workers especially women and young people, thereby supporting livelihood and empowering women. Ecotourism also seeks to increase environmental awareness and instils a sense of social responsibility towards its protection and conservation. Considering the topography, Meghalaya cannot be expected to be an industrially developed state nor a state with abundant surplus in agricultural production. However, nature's endowment, ethnological diversity and rich cultural heritage provide tremendous scope for economic prosperity through development of ecotourism. The book examines the level of development of various ecotourism destinations of Meghalaya. It takes into account the perception of all stakeholders, such as people engaged in tourism, accommodation providers, tour operators, government and tourists, in analysing the net benefits of ecotourism initiatives that accrue to the State and whether such benefits have helped in improving the lives of the people in general and the poor in particular.

Outdoor cultural property or stone monumental structures and other ancient buildings are particularly susceptible to these factors. As usual growing on the surface of stone monuments, various microorganisms also colonize the interior of the stone matrix. Lichens and fungi can cause serious degradation and deterioration by physical penetration of the micro organism. Fungal hyphae are able to penetrate deeply beneath the stone surface, leading to mechanical deterioration and degradation.

This book delineates in detail the origin and religion of the Koch-Rajbanshis and the philosophical views as well as the activities of Ray Saheb Thakur Panchanan in historical perspectives of modern times. Accused by many as of being a revivalist and traditional thinker, Panchanan left behind a legacy of analyzing the society in the context of history and thereby building the projection of identity on a route leading to the remote past. Panchanan realized accurately that Identity of any community, race or ethnic group can never be established devoid of reference to Diaspora-changes from the past to the present; therefore, in search of the identity of the Rajbanshis (Koch), he too traced the social roots of the community in the past, though his claim to Kshatriyahood in the name of 'Rajbanshi' for the people originally of Koch origin has now been challenged and criticised by Rajbanshi scholars and politicians.

They find mention in the Sanskrit literatures, the epics, the puranas and other religious texts. Especially, in Orissa, they have been very intimately connected with the worship of Lord Jagannath, who according to a legendary tradition originated as a Sabara deity and was later brought to Puri under royal patronage. Being hardy highlanders, they live in the hilly and mountainous regions of Eastern India. They are mainly divided into two classes i.e. Hill Souras or Lanjia Souras and Low Land Souras or Sudha Souras.

It is famous for its magnificent and majestic temples. The kings of different dynasties built innumerable temples from 6th to 13th century C.E. In fact, there was a competition among the ruling dynasties to built huge temples and surpass the previous dynasty in temple building activities. The Odias displayed their remarkable creative power in these temples. While they built their temples like giants, they sculptured the walls of the temples like master-artists. The theme of these sculptures were so varied for the artist and his imagination so deep that, as if he was writing an epic on the surface of the stone. It is not merely that he was doing a duty to a king or showing devotion to a God, but was depicting a culture at its finest. “In these magnificent temples, the stones speak and each chisel mark signs the artistic glory and the rich cultural heritage of Odisha”. This book will be appreciated by the students, teachers, researchers, tourists and the general readers who are interested to know the different aspects of the art of Odisha.

Based on artefactual data collected/examined in the field, the work enshrines in itself dependable and authentic data. Past the formal introduction to the work, the graphic description of the environmental setting of the region provides a natural back ground for our understanding the human cultural enterprise through the various vicissitudes of time. This background also helps us understand the responses and adjustments made by the inhabitants to keep the demand for calories within the carrying capacity of the surrounding ecological niche – thus finally maintaining a dynamic equilibrium between demand and supply of energy. For obvious reasons, the details on pre and proto historic cultural phases of the region are dotted for the scope of the present investigation itself is confined to salvage archaeology. Yet, against the work already done in the surrounding areas, the data supplied in this work span the temporal and spatial extensions of the cultures discussed.

An ISRS is typically a peer-to-peer (P2P) network operated and maintained by private individuals or independent organisations, but accessible to the general public. Computers and data processing techniques have made possible the high-speed, selective retrieval of large amounts of information for government, commercial, and academic purposes. The lack of centralization helps to ensure that catastrophic data loss does not occur because of hardware or programme failure, or because of the activities of malicious hackers. Graceful degradation is provided by redundancy of data and programming among multiple computers. The book provides coverage of all of the major aspects of information retrieval and has sufficient detail to allow students to implement a simple information retrieval system.

Like all mountains a certain uniformity of cultural patterns can be seen here also from the north-eastern to the north-western Himalayas. The apparent unity of Himalayan culture is reinforced by the influence of Lamaism of Buddhism from the north and the cultural influences from the plains. In other hand, the mountaineering is a hobby and adventures. The British mountaineers were usually well to do professional men who spent six or eight weeks each summer in traveling trough the Alps and climbing the peaks which most attracted them, specially Himalayan range. This book has been written especially for mountain lovers and for people associated with mountaineering related activities. This document gives an insight to get a vast knowledge about Himalayan culture and its mountaineering history.

Khurda Odisha covering 112 locations has unfolded new facets of archaeology in the region. The habitations on the river valley particularly in the coastal area during the Neolithic chalcolithic time have thrown fresh lights on the settlement pattern. The outcome of the exploration supported by photographs of antiquarian remains has been given in this book with the objective to provide mostly first hand information to students and research scholars so that the very objective of the effort is achieved and further researches are carried out. Selecting the banks of river Daya for the exploration is perhaps a thoughtful move by the author because the history of Odisha would perhaps remain incomplete without referring to river Daya. Dr. Dillip Kumar Khamari obtained his first class Master Degree in Ancient Indian History from Sambalpur University, Odisha in 1992. He did his P.G. Diploma in Archaeology from the Institute of Archaeology, New Delhi in 1995 and joined in the Archaeological Survey of India as Assistant Archaeologist in 1997.

He has participated in various excavations, explorations and setting up of archaeological museums of which mentions may be made to excavations at Dholavira, Lalkot, Golbai Sasan, Barabati, Sanchi, Udaigiri, Kulhadia, Hampi, Sirpur etc. As the Superintending Archaeologist of Excavation Branch-IV, Bhubaneswar he conducted exploration on the right bank of River Daya.

The local culture, tradition and religious beliefs are so deep rooted and intermingled in our society that they can't be separated from each other. Storytelling has been the adopted mediums for conveying and transmitting messages from generation to generation in our society. These intangible heritages associated with our cultural properties are today facing challenges from urbanization and modernization and they are on the brink of their disappearance. Hence an attempt has been made by the author to document these intangible heritages, associated with the monuments and sites located in the state of Chhattisgarh.
